You’ve heard the phrases “trust your gut” and “follow your instincts.” Well, there’s a very good reason those phrases exist. They are 100% true! You should always listen to your instincts, especially when you get those feelings you just can’t describe. Something pushes you, urges you to either do something or not to do something. Listening to that powerful voice inside of you is usually a good decision. In fact, it might even save someone’s life.

Listen to your Gut.
One of the most powerful stories we’ve come across regarding listening to instincts happened in 2015. Although it was a few years ago, this story touched the lives of millions of people and even possibly saved one girl’s life. It is an exemplary argument for always following your instincts and listening to your gut.

On a spring afternoon in 2015, in Calgary, Canada, four teens were hanging out like they normally did. Arnaud Nimenya, Carsyn Wright, James Hielema, and Starlyn Rives-Perez were skateboarding in an underground parking garage at the Chinook Mall. It was there the four teens spotted a drunk girl being carried by a larger man.

“She was screaming and yelling. And she just wanted to be out of there. She was all scuffed up and dirty,” said one of the skateboarders, Carsyn Wright. “The guy was dressed in very nice clothes, and the girl was all dirty, she was crying, her nose was bleeding.”
